For me, I’m nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can.

What do you enjoy?

    Every so often I still indulge in the “don’t step on the cracks” game while walking along the street :-)

      I literally did this just yesterday walking to the car from work. Then I had to figure out what actually constitutes as a “crack” and what is just a "purposeful indent’ in the sidewalk. I decided that the indents that separate the squares in the sidewalk do not actually count as cracks and its ok to step on those.

      It’s a habit at this point. Mentally I know it won’t break my mama’s back, but emotionally… emotionally, I -have- to step over it 😅

    Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.

      Yes! I get many looks. Here’s a late-thirties man with a bald head, gleefully grinning like a maniac while careening wildly down the parking lot aisle on a squeaky four-wheeled vehicle meant for vittles.

      I vaguely recall an article linked on the SITE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED that something like 40% of adults sleep with a stuffed animal or comfort object

      I should probably get one seeing how I often end up just hugging the blanket when I sleep.

    YA Novels can be good – such an easy, engaging story. I really enjoyed the “I am Number Four” and “Jumper” series-es.

    Stuffed animals and fun shaped foods/objects. I want the Super Mario macaroni to go with my Dino nuggets so my stuffies and I can have a nice dinner.

    I love avatar the last airbender too. I haven’t found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)

    Love this topic! I’m with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?

    • Magic School Bus. To this day there are a dozen episodes that cross my mind all the time.
    • What my father calls “crap pasta” — animal or cartoon shaped noodles in a sauce that’s 40% salt.

    I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.

    I’m quite childish. Still play video games, still watch cartoons more than live-action shows, still eat (now sugar-free) candy. What’s going to happen? Are the grown-up police going to break into my house and demand that I turn in my adulting license and my pubes?

    Pokemon games. I played all the games up to the Gameboy Advanced, missed the DS and have purchased all of the switch games. My wife and I actually buy both versions of each game so we can trade and battle.

    😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.

    Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩

    There’s a lot of things. One easy one is I enjoy coloring in. And I really like teddy bears.
